Product Description

‘Tis the season for pumpkins! This is a unit of study on pumpkins that will be sure to engage your students. I came up with the unit because my school doesn’t celebrate Halloween out of respect for all cultures & religions. But students still love to celebrate the fall season! This is great to use around Thanksgiving as well.

I have put together activities in all content areas to teach students about pumpkins or to practice skills with a pumpkin theme. Here’s what you’ll get:

1. Pumpkin unit booklet and lesson plan. Students fill out a packet/booklet over the course of a week or more. They...

~ Investigate sprouting pumpkin seeds

The booklet activities will take a week or more.
